(Euractiv) According to an investigation, leisure centres, preschools, and social services are among the places where former ISIS jihadists are now working, prompting Liberal Education Minister Lotta Edholm to call Sweden’s policy on the return and control of former Swedish Islamist fighters “naive.”
Of 83 people identified as having returned to Sweden from Islamic State-controlled territory, 21 are now working with children, young people and the vulnerable, according to an investigation led by Swedish media Expressen.
In total, 24 of these ex-ISIS fighters have found work with public employers despite several warnings from the security services that so-called returnees can contribute to radicalisation and recruitment in Sweden.
